On their way to totally clusterfucking the past two games, they completely tank my pickage in terms of total K’s per game. They cannot even get that right. The first game begins as it should with Lackey picking up 6 of the necessary 8 K’s only 2/3’s of the way through the 5th. They then manage to pull out only 1 more K through the last 26 Texas batters. 1 friggin’ K in 26 AB’s. 1. One.

Tonight, with Santana pitching and offering up so much suckage as of late, I guessed that there was no way they would get this same hot-hitting team to slip into 8 K’s. No way. Sure enough, Santana gives us this reeking train-wreck of a 3rd inning:
Double
wild pitch
wild pitch
home run
walk
(2 runs surrendered)
But, of course, he interleaves 3 K’s into that disaster. And that helps, because the halo staff limps along and slowly adds to the K total right up until the 9th, when Jason Bulger steps in and K’s not 1, but 2(!) straight batters!!! And who were these two victims? None other than Andru Jones, who had 3 HR’s in the game to that point, going 3 for 4 with 4 RBI’s, and Hank Blalock who had been 2 for 2 with 2 BB’s. Sure. Strike THOSE guys out.

The pitchers screwed two games. Screwed two stadia full of fans. Screwed up a one game lead in the division. And screwed me outta 2 pickage points.

It’s enough to piss a guy off. To hell with them.

This was arguably the 1st truly important game of the season, so we catch Mathis, put Kendrick in at DH and bench Napoli? Grrrr!

And I am so tired of Santana refusing to pitch to Napoli. Why does Santana get to tell Scioscia what to do? I say, until he can prove he can still pitch at all, he should throw to whoever Scioscia says he’s throwing to. With two big power threats out of the lineup in Vlad and Hunter, it should’ve been a no-brainer to put Napoli.

Mathis should be nothing more than a true backup catcher. It is outrageous that he only has 68 fewer AB’s than Napoli.

Ervin Santana should not be pitching in the majors right now. The starting pitching has been terrible lately and if we don’t get some help before the deadline, the Arlington Douchebags are gonna take this division.

Jered Weaver is the ONLY dependable starter we have at the moment. The ONLY ONE because everytime Saunders, Santana, Lackey, and Palmer have gone out they have been mediocre or terrible. The offense has to score at least 5 runs every night to secure a victory.

I think it’s time to make a move because this pitching staff isn’t going to cut it.

How do you give your team a chance to win be starting Howied instead of Napoli, not to mention his desire to allow the starters to get shallacked constantly? I’m tired of watching Howie and Quinlan start, if it’s offense we need then let’s call up Wood!

Dave Smith was the reason I listened to KLAA, Roger Lodge is a twit!

Santana as well. I don’t know if it’s confidence or inability or suckage or whatever. It’s just not working right now. Both are a liability right now and need to find “it” before they get back.,

but if we have to give up Weaver, there’s no point. If Toronto asks for our only decent starter, it aint gonna help much to have Halladay this year. He’d still be followed by 4 mediocre to awful pitchers in the rotation. If we can keep Weaver and still get Halladay somehow, it might be worth it. That would mean most likely giving up Walden and Bell, plus a slew of position players, but it might translate into a playoff spot (and hopefully a ring). Hmm.

They don’t see you as I do. I wish they would try to. I’m sure they’d think again, if they had a friend like Santana. Blah, blah.

Pitching, pitching, My Kingdom for some pitching.

GO RANGERS!

Obviously he isn’t healthy and needs to be shut down.

I am starting to fear that this injury of his is going to ruin his career and turn him into nothing more than 5th starter at best. Hope I am just panicking a bit too much.

Howie needs to go back to SLC he sucks right now.

Why won’t this post clear the “4 new” ?
